How To Make Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas

We start the recipe with a layer of diced tomatoes and green chilies. 

Top that with red and green bell peppers.

Cover that layer with thinly sliced onion.

We covered the chicken breast with a Tex-Mex rub,

 then placed them on top of the sliced onions.

Pour the remainder of the diced tomatoes and chilies

 on top of the chicken.

Add the remainder of the green and red bell peppers

 and sprinkle with chopped garlic.

Top with the remainder of the sliced onions.

Place the lid on the cooker and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5 hours until the chicken is cooked through.

The vegetable will be cooked until tender, they wont be over cooked.

Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and

 place it on a sheet pan.

Shred the chicken breast into thin strips.

Return the chicken to the slow cooker. Pour a lime and honey mix over the chicken and toss well.
